Frequently Asked Questions

• The EleGARD should not be used:
  • If the patient weighs more than 350 lbs./159 kg. (IFU, p. 5)
  • Anytime the patient cannot be correctly or safely positioned on the EleGARD (IFU, p. 5)
  • In standing water or snow (IFU, p. 12).

• The maximum elevation is not measured as an angle, but as a height. The Fully Raised thoracic elevation is approximately 8.5 cm/3.4 in. from supine, and the Fully Raised head elevation is approximately 25.3 cm/10 in. from supine (IFU, p. 25).

• Each light indicates 30% of the charge capacity (IFU, p. 11):
  • No lights – less than 30% charge capacity
  • One light – at least 30% charge capacity
  • Two lights – at least 60% charge capacity
  • Three lights – at least 90% charge capacity.

When the EleGARD System is in use, the battery lights cascade upward once the Up Button has been pressed to indicate elevation is in progress.

• If the battery fails during use, the EleGARD System will remain in its current position. Replace the expired battery with a charged battery, press the Power button to turn the EleGARD on, then press the appropriate up or down button to continue the elevation sequence.
